Hello, we've just deployed Ephinea v1407.

Not too many changes but the following things were changed:

- Added a "Fast Startup" option in the launcher which allows Ephinea to skip the SEGA and Sonic Team logos when booting up the game. (Credit: @Esc )
- Fixed excessive GPU usage when playing the Episode I & II opening videos on the classic ship.
- Obtained a code signing certificate and digitally signed online.exe, patchclient.dll and ephinea.dll to increase trust. (May sign PsoBB.exe in the future as well.)

Thank you for playing on Ephinea!

Ephineaのv1407をリリースしました。

以下の変更点が加えられています。

  • ランチャーに「ファーストスタート」のオプションが追加されました。こちらをオンにすると、ゲームスタート時のSEGAとSonic Teamのロゴをスキップできるようになります!
    クレジット:Escさん
  • クラシックシップでEP1&2のオープニングを再生する際に、GPUが過剰に使用される問題を修正しました。
  • コードサイニング証明書を取得し、online.exe, patchclient.dll, ephinea.dllにデジタル署名を実施しました。これにより信頼性が高まります。(将来的に、PsoBB.exeにも署名を実施するかもしれません)
引き続きEphineaをよろしくお願いいたします!

Either this patch or the last (didn't play between the two) caused BitDefender to freak out upon PSOBB trying to patch Online.exe, and it deleted both exes and some random file from the Internet Explorer directory? I undid it and put them all in exemptions, and now it's working fine, but something you changed made it scared!

Its a cracked (commercial at one point) game. This should be enough explanation. Antivirus has false positived the client since Eph has first been around lol

While that is true, people have been playing by use of exceptions regardless, and now a patch that is supposed to address the need to do so comes out and AVs begin to freak again.

I don't blame Soda or any other staff for this, it's just a classic case of a system M$ puts in place doing the exact opposite of what it's supposed to.
